With dwindling interest and Zergtastic's departure (who has been the main organiser for most of the last BSGs) sc2sea will be announcing the closure of our regular BSG tournaments. It is only normal for communities to look at their situation and then re-evaluate themselves and evolve for the better. Although demand for the BSGs hasn't been high, in stark contrast the BSGCL has been widely popular thus far, and hence from this moment will be the main weekly tournament that would cater to the BSG population on sc2sea!

A big thanks to the official BSGCL Admins, Maynarde, Synizta and TAEdarus, along with other helpful members like Souljah who have made the transition successful and are now managing the BSGCL all by themselves. BSGCL enters the play-off stage this Thursday/Friday with the two favourite teams being Kelvin's Army and ToR, both 5-0 and undefeated in their groups. BSGCL news will now be posted on our front page regularly and more support will be given to ensure an even stronger Season 2 with more team signups, a revamped format as well as a dedicated team for players with no clans, so every BSG player will have a chance to participate.

Lastly, lets not forget the BSG organisers and streamers who have made the THIRTY-FIVE BSGs happen every single week for the last 9 months! In particular the organisers Skybreaker (at the start) followed by BakaInu and Zergtastic! Not only was it a platform that gave lower league players their first taste of competitive action and spur them on to become better, it also paved the way for many newer casters to get awareness and establish themselves - e.g System, Jester, MeatEx, Hut, Sixth. Recall how FXOUnstable cast our first BSG, and then went on to cast GSL!

Thank you guys for making the BSGs such a great success! And Zergtastic gets a repeat mention because he did especially much from the beginning to the end! We look forward to regular BSG Open players joining clans (Hey clans are awesome!) and participating in the BSGCL!

I lost count of how many BSGs I've hosted many weeks ago. Its great to see that so many players were able to strive to improve themselves through the tournament and get their skills to where they are today. Im proud of the work I've done as a tournament admin and have never planned to permanently remain in managerial roles in the sc2 community. I've always wanted to become primarily a dominant player and have more time for myself, and this is a necessary step for both of those goals to be achieved. Good luck to sc2sea in the future in keeping totally badass tournament admins!
